Your comment makes it sound like the defect had an incidence, but it's specific to reactor 4 alone, and reactor 4 was empty when the earthquake happened. For all we know putting the pressure vessel back in shape may have had little effect on its resiliency.
Still, of course, a very tough choice.

- pinko 16y agoYes, this. An accidental defect may not have an incidence, but you can bet the corruption that led to it being covered up does.
